ocfs2: o2dlm: fix a race between purge and master query

Node A sends master query request to node B which is the master.  At this
time lockres happens to be on purgelist.  dlm_master_request_handler gets
the dlm spinlock, finds the resource and releases the dlm spin lock.
Right at this dlm_thread on this node could purge the lockres.
dlm_master_request_handler can then acquire lockres spinlock and reply to
Node A that node B is the master even though lockres on node B is purged.

The above scenario will now make node A falsely think node B is the master
which is inconsistent.  Further if another node C tries to master the same
resource, every node will respond they are not the master.  Node C then
masters the resource and sends assert master to all nodes.  This will now
make node A crash with the following message.

dlm_assert_master_handler:1831 ERROR: DIE! Mastery assert from 9, but current
owner is 10!
